Question

Have you ever thought about traveling to another country? Pick a place that interests you, and where your native language is not spoken. Once you have picked a place, you can research language-learning options. You can use online programs or find a class. You could learn and practice with a friend, and then take a dream vacation. Learning a language can be difficult. It is one of the the most useful hobbies. I’ve tried it.

What compound-complex sentence can be formed from the underlined section of the passage?
Learning a language can be a difficult and useful hobby; I’ve tried it.
Learning a language can be difficult; it is one of the most useful hobbies I’ve tried.
Learning a language can be difficult, it is one of the most useful hobbies I’ve tried.
Learning a language can be difficult, yet it is one of the most useful hobbies that I’ve tried.

Answer 1

The answer is D

Answer 2

D. Learning a language can be difficult, yet it is one of the most useful hobbies that I’ve tried.

Step-by-step explanation:

The second idea contrasts with the first one. Even though learning a language is difficult, the person still had tried the hobby. Traditionally, one would not try the hobby if the hobby is difficult. However, this person has tried it. Therefore, a "but" or a "yet" should be used. A semicolon should not be used because these ideas can pair together.
